'lho handle of tho valve may ho described as an lll'l'OlVallllllJllllplot-o ltw provided with an onlargod boss I!) having a tapered hole fortho, roooption ol thev similarly tapered onlor ond o t' tho valvo rod.which is threaded for tho rot-option of a, arrow 5-30 confining saidhandlo in plat-o.

For example, in

Figs. 2 and 3, I have illustrated a form of valve in which the fitting 9projects from the side of the main valve structure 1, ninety:

degrees fron the line of the fitting 11 and this latter extends in aline making more than an angle of 90 degrees with the line of the valvestem 4:. It is possible to make any of a number of difierent styles ofvalves by K merely changing the chucking of the valve ornamental.

I claim: l. The combination in a valve, of a body I; having a-projectionand provided with an elongated cavity; said cavity having two pants-ofdifierent diameters connected by a valve seat, and also having athreaded portion; the body having recesses threaded to receive fittingsand being provided with two passages respectively entering the recesseseccentrically of their center lines but par allel thereto, said passagesentering the elonname to this specification,

gated cavity on opposite sides of the valve seat; a stem threaded to fitthe threads of the cavity and having a valve portion cooperating withtheseat of the body; and fittings having dished ends threaded into saidrecesses of the body.

- 2. The combination in a valve, of a body having a projection andprovided with an elongated cavity; said cavity having two parts ofdifferent diameters connected by a valve seat, and also having athreaded portion; the body having two passages respec tively enteringthe two parts of the cavity on opposite sides ofthe valve seat, andbeing provided with recesses, eccentrically formed relatively to saidpassages but sub stantially parallel with the same; with a stem having avalve portion threaded into the cavity in position to cooperate with theseat thereof In testimony whereof, I have signed my in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
